The Design
About Narvik Gondola Station Stanice lanovky
Narvik Gondola Station je vrcholová stanice kabinové lanovky v lyžařském středisku nad městem Narvik v Norsku. Stanice nabízí krytý prostor, kde návštěvníci a lyžaři nastupují do lanovky a vystupují z ní, a zároveň organizuje pohyb osob. Budova je 41 metrů dlouhá a 15 až 26 metrů široká, s ocelovou konstrukcí a základy ze železobetonu. Matně černý kovový obklad odkazuje na místní průmysl těžby železné rudy, zatímco v interiérech je použito dřevo. Tvar budovy byl optimalizován pro silný vítr a vysoké zatížení sněhem.

- Production Technology
- The construction planning focused on optimising shape, construction and materials against heavy wind force and snow loads. Steel frame construction. Reinforced concrete foundations. Matte black metal cladding.
- Design Challenge
- Optimisation of the combination of gondola requirements and natural forces to be accounted for.
- Research
- Optimal positioning of gondola cable line, specific bottom and top station location as seen in connection with complete slopes, flow of people and overall organisation of resort. Climatic conditions, wind forces, snow loads and snow drift patterns. Functional requirements (visitors, skiers, technical requirements). Structure optimisation, shape and minimising material usage.
- Inspiration
- The design forms part of the overall design philosophy of the Narvik Arctic Resort which seeks to express a connection between the city's industrial history and the surrounding dramatic nature. Narvik is shipping-port for the rail and ship transportation of iron ore, represented in the black metal cladding and shaping of the buildings of the resort and the forested mountains represented in the wooden interiors.
- Project Duration
- Built during fall of 2018, opened for the 2019 winter season in Narvik, Norway.
- Operation Flow
- The structure is tailor made to gondola specifications and also climatic conditions, while at the same time adhering to the overall design strategy of the resort. It provides safe landing at the top of the mountain for the gondolas with visitors and skiers exiting or boarding the gondola in a sheltered space which also organise the traffic flow of people.
